in the rio grande valley in texas, in chicago and its suburbs you're starting to talk -- it starts to add up. i think in cuba a new dynamic has set in. i think obama's opening of travel to cuba has totally changed the game for the way cubans think about it. so you're talking about large chunks of this electorate that are solidly democratic and there's a solid base there, so the game has been and will continue to be about a fairly small margin of this electorate in key places. >> okay. >> i'll do these as quickly as i can. i'm still enjoying what happened in november of 2012 to think about november 2016. so, i'll skip on that one. a two word answer to your question, joe biden, which is a segue over to your question -- i would take exception with the premise of your question in terms of the obama administration not having a relationship with mexico. in my prior existence before my summer vacation i was the president's main latin american policy advisor at the white house for three and a half years. and this is kind of an anecdote and it over simplifies, but i had 34 countries that i was
